• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second the Konza Technopolis Bill by Sen. Orwoba. As it has been said, the Konza Technopolis was established as one of the flagship projects under the Vision 2030. That was in 2012. It operated under a legal notice that expired last year. As I speak, the Konza Technopolis is being run without any legal backing. We needed to renew that legal notice so that as we continue with the Bill, at least, the establishment runs properly. As the Mover has said, this Bill seeks to establish the Konza Technopolis. This particular Bill will be ... view

• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: I know the Bill will have to go to the National Assembly. We hope and pray that the National Assembly will support it. We hope we do not see issues that arose in the 12th Parliament where the Senate came up with the Data Protection Bill but along the way, the one from the Senate was stepped down and another one was brought. It is good to move with speed and ensure the Bill is passed. With those many remarks, I wish to second. I request colleagues to support this Bill for Konza to get investors. As we speak, most ... view
